Liverpool's Fernando Torres weighs in on the debate of best football league in the world. His views on the Premiership are very interesting.
"Technically the football is better in Spain, of a higher quality. But in England they play a more dynamic, quicker type of football with more shots at goal. The games are more open and for both player and spectator it's nicer football."
The quote above to me explains why the Premiership will always be the most watched and followed football league in the world.
Unfortunately, it also explains why England probably won't win a World Cup in my lifetime either.

Texas A&M Style...
Well apparently this is how they do it at Texas A&M. You'll need to watch this video. I can't believe how annoying this guy is.
Let's just say that now can add aTm to the list of teams that I hate.

Pens vs Flyers at the Beav?
According to this article, there have been some preliminary talks about the Flyers playing the Penguins outdoors at Beaver stadium.
Wonder what kind of attendance that they could get for that one?
Loose pucks: Get out your toques and mittens. The Flyers are looking into staging an outdoor game against the Pittsburgh Penguins next season at Penn State's Beaver Stadium in Happy Valley. Talks with the NHL are very preliminary, but team president Peter Luukko and general manager Paul Holmgren are pushing for league approval to play the first-ever outdoor game in the 107,282-seat stadium. . . .

Rich Rodriguez to Michigan
Well, Michigan coaching search is over, as they hire Rich Rodriguez away from West Virginia. While I'm not overly worried about this move (we lost to Michigan every year anyway, so it really doesn't matter who their coach is), there is one way that it does have a huge impact on PSU.
Tyrelle Pryor, the all-word QB, now has Michigan in his top 5.
Ouch.

More on the drug dealers next to Mum's office
So after I wrote the post earlier below about my Mum and all of the interesting things going on at her office, I got a bunch more emails about the whole story.
Rather than try and remember everything, and relay the story multiple times, I recorded it so you can listen for yourself:

Beavers Coming To Beaver Stadium
It's official!
The Oregon State Beavers will play at PSU next season. This is personally a huge relief for me, as we get that pesky Arkansas State squad off of the schedule.
Is Tim Curley actually doing his job?
WOW!

My Mum works next to drug dealers
Got a phone call from my mum yesterday, who bluntly informed me that she works next door to drug dealers.
Her office in LA has been awfully cold lately, and the new folks who moved in next door have an office that "smells like a skunk".
She just got back from England this past weekend, and the neighbors office now has bars on the window, and a security guard.
Well Ange went over, since she shares a thermostat with the neighbors. Apparently they've been running the AC, and keeping the temperature very cold.
After a second request to stop running the AC in December went unnoticed, my mum went over there to see what was going on .
Apparently the girl at the front desk handed her a bunch of pamphlets about medicinal marijuana, and said that they were providing this under California law. The pamphlets allegedly had some old geezers on the front.
My mum said that she found this ironic, because the average person going in there looks about half of Brandon's age.
I'm not quite sure what's going on in Inglewood (aka "Inglehood") but it sure smells sweet!
At least this year, as I told my mum, my christmas present will be easy for her to find!
HOLLA!

Apprently the Big Ten has approved games after Thansgiving
Apparently all of my bellyaching and blogging has worked:
The Big Ten has finally approved football games after Thanksgiving.
Should be interesting to see what happens with Penn State and Sparty.

Will The Idiots Who Run The Big Ten Let This Pass
If you've spoken to me recently on the phone during the past few weekends of the college football season, you know how absolutely infuriated I am with the fact that the Big Ten play NO games on both Thanksgiving weekend, and the first weekend in December (aka conference championship weekend).
Apparently the idiots who run the Big Ten have instituted a rule that no game can be played after Thanksgiving.
Well, once we moved to the 12 game schedule (another stupid rule), this meant NO BYE WEEK for Big Ten teams. Look at a conference like the Pac 10, who played this year on BOTH Thanksgiving weekend AND the first weekend in December. In essence, each Pac 10 team got 2 bye weeks.
How can the Big Ten be so stupid?
Easy.
The don't want any game to upstage their precious Ohio State vs. Michigan matchup. That's what this league is all about. Heaven forbid someone play AFTER that game.
It's a well known fact among big ten insiders that the league hasn't moved to a conference championship game because they consider Michigan vs. Ohio State as the conference championship game.
It's great to see guys like Barry Alvarez, Iowa, and the folks at Northwestern and Illinois stand up these arrogant pricks who run the Big Ten, and try and get this game moved.
Wonder how ending the season early worked out for Brutus last year in their bowl game (63 days off?) and Larry Johnson's Heisman campaign (Carson Palmer got an extra 2 weekends on TV).
The Big Ten just further proves their arrogance, and their willingness to sacrifice what is best for the league, the players, and the fans (who get no Big Ten football the last two weekends of the season) in order to placate the "tradition" of Ohio State vs. Michigan.
What a joke.

Ricky Hatton
Blue Moon!
Even though he is a Man City fan, he's still pals with Wayne Rooney. I must admit that I'm pretty much totally ignorant of the boxing scene right now, but my brother tells me that this is a hot ticket in Vegas this weekend. In fact, so hot, that "Mr. Vegas Hookup" himself, can't even find a ticket. Face value on the cheapest seats are $1500.
Anyway, check out what Fox Sports had to say about the British invasion this week in Vegas.
And for those of you who have been to Vegas with me before, you know that there's no better place than the Crown & Anchor to watch the footie. Check out what the LVRJ had to say about what's been going on this week at the Crown. Apparently Ricky is down for a few pints with the lads!
Here's some video footage from his last fight in Vegas in June. Apparently, it's MUCH busier this time:
